Japanese Blue Gold Cream Porcelain Charger by Contemporary Master Artist

About the Item

Exquisite contemporary Japanese Ko-Imari style large decorative porcelain charger, hand painted in gold, blue, cream and red, a signed masterpiece by widely acclaimed award-winning master porcelain artist of the Imari-Arita region of Japan. In 2016, the British Museum added a work by this artist to its collection of contemporary Japanese porcelain in the Imari-Arita polychrome enamel tradition. This artist is the recipient of numerous awards for his notable porcelain work and his unique gold and platinum work on porcelain. The artist's profile is available upon request. This captivating charger in Ko-Imari style showcasing a stunning scene with a beloved auspicious weeping cherry tree in the center with a beautiful aarngement of peonies in an impressive vase in front of it. A wide band with a flower motif showcasing pine trees and peonies decorates the rim of the charger. from the latter half of the 17th century to the latter half of the 18th century all porcelain pieces produced in the kilns in Hizen region of southern Japan were exported from the port of Imari to European countries . For this reason Hizen ceramics were called Imari (and later referred to as Ko-Imari meaning Old Imari) inside and outside the country, adopting the name of the port. The colors are deep, and red and gold paints are used luxuriously. Ko-Imari reflects the spirit of the Genroku era, which was economically abundant. Ko-Imari Porcelain exported to Europe was prized by being displayed in royal palaces and aristocratic mansions. This graceful style that fascinated Europe in the 17th century still continues to adorn many of today's Imari-Arita porcelain. “Fired-on gold,” his signature style highlights unique techniques for incorporating gold and platinum into the hand painting and multiple firing processes that yield a stunningly opulent look. The polychrome overglaze is fired at 800 degrees, followed by the application of gold and platinum that are fired at slightly lower temperature to maintain the luster of the precious metals. As a result, a single piece may undergo as many as 5-10 firings. His profile is available upon request. This striking large decorative porcelain charger includes a Stand and comes in a custom made wooden box signed by the artist. Dimensions: D 18 in, H 2 in.
